CNN previously reported that Phillips, who serves as associate administrator for the Office of Response and Recovery at FEMA, described in a podcast last year multiple episodes in which he said he was suddenly teleported miles away — including once to a Waffle House roughly 50 miles from where he had been.

Didn't realize Cecil loved Waffle House so much.

He wasn't there to eat; he was there to assess the devastation after a fight.
